Geek Anthems

It's a good year for the geek anthem. It's only a month or two since I linked to Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury and now we have Geek And Gamer Girls by Team Unicorn.




Nice to that both geek songs are by women, too. It seems the fangirls are doin' it for themselves :)

Have there been any other geek songs this year that I've missed?

I still love that video. I have no problem with the girls sexualising themselves. Its apparent their doing it for their own benefit and enjoyment. Also squee for someone cosplaying Pyslocke. Not to mention Katie Sackhoff & Seth Green.
I'm also kind of amused by the juxtaposition of the team against the background 'dancing' geekboys.
The nearly naked scenes do seem a bit like a 'for the boys' imagery, but taken in conjunction with the rest, it really has more of a 'Damn we're hot, we game, we geek and we're dead sexy" vibe.

My only problem with the nude American Beauty bits of the video is that they're over-used. The gag works once, then it just gets a bit stale, especially with the same comics etc. coming towards the camera every time. If they varied the comics or something, it might work better.
